Distribution

Ecology

Habitat

In the Coastal Plain in Florida, S. flavidulus can occur in pine-oak woodlands, wet pine flatwoods, margins of cypress wetlands, and sphagnous boggy clearings of pine flatwoods. It has also occurred in disturbed areas such as powerline transects through pine flatwoods and roadsides (FSU Herbarium). Xyris baldwiniana is an associated species (FSU Herbarium). It has been observed to grow on poorly drained soils and sandy loam (FSU Herbarium).
